_ _Zamora._ Two Spanish dances for the pianoforte by Michael
Watson.--The first is a Habanera, and is redolent of _Carmen_ and
Spanish want of energy. It is more characteristic than the second,
although that is a very good reproduction of the typical peasant dance
of all districts of the Peninsula.
_Daphne._ Valse brillante. _Celadon._ Gavotte. Two drawing-room pieces
of more than ordinary merit by J. H. Wallis.--Fairly easy to learn, and
effective when learnt.
_May-Dew._ By Sir Sterndale Bennett; transcribed for the pianoforte by
Jules Brissac.--We complained a few months back of someone having
converted this lovely song into a part-song; we can only say of the
present transformation, that when the voice part is at work all goes
fairly well, and from a piano point of view represents the original; but
the two bars of symphony before the first and second verses of the song
are stripped of all their original life, and a very mangled substitute
is offered.

Prideaux.--The story of a little Italian street-player. The compass is
for sopranos; the melody is simple and not very original.
